World Leaders Welcome Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

The president’s plan envisions Gaza under a transitional committee of Palestinian and international experts, supervised by a new ‘Board of Peace.’

World leaders have welcomed the U.S plan to end the Gaza conflict, unveiled by U.S. President Donald Trump on Sept. 29 and backed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The 20-point plan, presented during a White House press conference with the Israeli leader, proposes an immediate end to the war, the withdrawal of Israeli forces to “the agreed upon line,” the release of all Israeli hostages, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and a major surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza, provided both sides agree.

Trump’s plan requires Hamas— the terrorist group behind the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel that killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and led to more than 250 Israelis being abducted—to surrender and disarm in exchange for an end to hostilities.

Hamas is studying the plan before issuing a formal response, according to The Associated Press.

Trump told reporters on Sept. 30 that Hamas has “about three or four days” to respond to the proposal.

“We’ll see how it is. All of the Arab countries are signed up. The Muslim countries are all signed up. Israel is all signed up,” he said.

“We’re just waiting for Hamas, and Hamas is either going to be doing it or not, and if it’s not, it’s going to be a very sad end.”

Netanyahu said that Israel would “finish the job by itself” if Hamas refuses the proposal. Trump vowed full U.S. support for Israel if Hamas rejects the plan.

The plan specifies that aid will enter Gaza “without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party.” The Rafah crossing would reopen under the mechanism outlined in the January 19, 2025, agreement.

Trump’s framework further establishes temporary governance in Gaza under a transitional committee of Palestinian and international experts, overseen by a new international body called the “Board of Peace.”

Chaired by Trump and including figures such as former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, the board would direct reconstruction and financing until the Palestinian Authority completes reforms necessary to retake control.

In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt said Trump’s initiative was sincere and said they were ready to work with Washington and other stakeholders to implement the agreement.
